The La Panthère de Cartier HPI01731 is a ladies' quartz watch in a 22mm white gold case. It sits in Cartier's jewellery-watch category, where the design carries as much weight as the movement. The diamond-set bezel and golden dial place it firmly at the haute joaillerie end of the lineup.
This review covers what the supplied specs mean on the wrist, what buyers ask about at our desk, and what to check before you commit. We deal in Cartier daily, and we will keep this honest.

What the specs mean on the wrist
The 22mm case is compact by today's standards. That size is intentional. The Panthère was built for a slender wrist, and white gold keeps it cool-toned against the skin. The diamond-pavé bezel circles the dial on all sides, so the case reads as jewellery before it reads as a watch. The golden dial inside that frame creates a warm contrast that works with yellow gold as well as white.
The bracelet is polished yellow gold. That mix of white gold case and yellow gold bracelet is a deliberate design choice, not a mismatch. The quartz movement keeps the profile clean and thin enough to slide under a cuff. Brand-new condition means it arrives with full Cartier presentation.
The dealer’s take
At our desk, buyers who ask for this reference already know the Panthère silhouette. They are not comparing it to a sport watch. They want to know about the diamond quality, the bracelet fit, and whether the golden dial photographs as warm as it looks in person. The answer to that last question is yes.
The other common question is about pairing. Some clients want to wear it alone as a statement piece. Others are stacking it with bracelets. Both work. The polished yellow gold bracelet is the detail that drives that conversation most.
What to check before you buy a La Panthère de Cartier
- Verify the diamonds: Confirm the bezel diamonds show no chips or milky stones. Ask for the Cartier certificate or box papers that match reference HPI01731.
- Check the bracelet links: Run your finger along every link. Polished yellow gold shows wear fast. Brand-new condition should show zero scratches or stretched links.
- Confirm authenticity documents: A new Cartier should come with the original box, warranty card, and hang tags. Cross-check the serial number on the case with the paperwork.
- Test the crown and timekeeping: Wind or press the crown and confirm the seconds hand moves cleanly. Quartz movements are reliable, but a brand-new piece should be verified before it leaves the counter.
Who the HPI01731 is for
This watch is for the buyer who treats a timepiece the same way they treat a fine jewellery purchase. If the dial, the diamonds, and the precious metal matter more than chronograph pushers or a power-reserve indicator, the HPI01731 makes sense. It suits a smaller wrist and a wardrobe that runs toward dressed rather than casual.
Alternatives worth considering
- La Panthère de Cartier medium — Shoppers who want the same silhouette but need a slightly larger case often cross-shop the medium reference.
- Cartier Baignoire — Buyers who like jewellery-first Cartier but prefer an oval case sometimes consider the Baignoire alongside the Panthère.

The asking price at Bizak and Co. is $85,799. This is a brand-new example with full Cartier presentation. Contact us directly to discuss availability or to make an offer.
Is 22mm too small to wear daily?
The 22mm case is the size Cartier built the Panthère around. It suits a slender wrist and sits low under a cuff. Buyers who prefer a larger presence should look at the medium Panthère reference instead.
What movement does the HPI01731 use?
The HPI01731 runs a quartz movement. Quartz keeps the case profile slim and requires minimal servicing compared to a mechanical calibre. It is a deliberate choice for a watch that prioritises jewellery aesthetics.

The HPI01731 is brand new, in white gold with a diamond bezel and a golden dial. Whether it fits your collection depends on your wrist size, your style, and your budget. We recommend seeing it in person before deciding.
